Number of credits :  
Bachelor in Law, 3rd yearFirst semester3
Lecturer :  André Henkes
Language(s) of instruction :  
German language
Course contents :  
The Belgian non-criminal legal system and the major instrument in civil litigation regulations, i.e. the judgement, are both studied in German in this 15-hour course, divided into two- to three-hour units, from a linguistic point of view and in terms of fundamental teaching.
The lessons are based on relevant articles from the Judicial Code, and on key judgements made by the Court of Cassation in Belgium, and closely follow the teachings of the Messrs Fettweis and Leval.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
To provide law students with essential knowledge for their know-how as future lawyers, relating to the settlement of conflicts in civil law through the judicial method, and with the appropriate German technical vocabulary used in Belgium.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Working knowledge of German.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
Ex cathedra.
Recommended or required readings :  
Since the course also has a linguistic vocation, the oral lessons are amply structured and written up on the board, so that students can compile their own notes while exercising their knowledge of the language. The treaty in French by Professor G. de Leval on the "Elements of civil procedure" is the work of reference.
Assessment methods and criteria :  
The assessment is divided into two parts. Firstly, students are assessed on their regular intellectual commitment in class. Secondly, this desire to progress is complemented by an individual discussion concerning the themes studied in class.
